During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing this week, Kari Lake, the leader of the government's propaganda, armed voice of America, was being questioned by Democratic representative Greg Stanton, who of course happens to be a representative from the state of Arizona where Ka Lake has tried multiple times to run for public office and failed Humiliatingly every time she's tried. So Stanton decided to, uh, let everybody in the hearing know what a liar, an adjudicated liar. By the way, KA Lake really is as she's sitting there testifying under oath. So here is how Stanton went after KA Lake. I've seen you in action, including your behavior in the last two elections. The American people cannot believe a word. You say you ran for governor in Arizona in 2022. You lost fair and square. Instead of conceding, you embarrassed yourself and our state by lying again and again for years, blaming everything under the sun for your loss, except your own toxic politics.
Ms. Lake, your new role requires you to tell the truth. I can't imagine how people fighting for democracy today and around the world can trust someone who has so shamelessly lied about her own election. You are an adjudicated liar and a two time political loser in Arizona. You lost for governor in 2022 to Katie Hobbs. You lost even worse to Ruben Gallego for Senate in 2024. Well, Arizona has another election for governor. Next year, will you do us all a favor and run it back and run for governor again? And to that Kerry Lake who had just gotten verbally ripped to shreds responded, saying, that was complete insanity. I wish I could yield back the last five minutes of my life actually.
Now here's the thing, Kerry, I I, I know you thought you really had a great comeback and she wasn't done. It actually does get much worse. But I just have to point out before I get into her like defamatory statements that yielding back the last five minutes of your life would be to give back those five minutes to the man that, that just humiliated you in, in essence, you're telling him you want to do it again. That's what yield back the last five minutes of my life means. So just to be grammatical here, you know, um, what you said actually indicated you wanted to relive those moments where he just absolutely eviscerated you. But as I said, KA Lake, who was there defending the cuts to Voice of America, by the way, then decided to go the defamatory route because after she said, I wish I could yield back the last five minutes of my life, she then said, I remember the stories about you where they said you had a gay lover and those were going to, and as she attempted to keep talking, democratic representative,
Bill Keating jumped in and said, Mr. Chairman, I hope Your Honor, what you have just as a caution to everyone, and I move that those words be, he was gonna say stricken from the record, but Ka Lake once again interrupted and said those lies could be broadcast, broadcast today on Voice of America. And there was really nothing that could be done about it. So what Lake was attempting to do is say like, Hey, remember that fake story about you having a gay lover? She wanted to smear him in Congress. That's why she did it. She could have just said there was a fake story about you and Voice of America. You know, they could run that. And, and nobody can like stop anybody from doing it. That's why we gotta cut it and kill it, right? Um, there's so many things wrong with that. But let me go ahead and tell you this because I, I had to do some digging.
